Last month, Twitter’s former head of developer platforms, Amir Shevat, wrote a TechCrunch article about how the new management broke the trust of developers. These kinds of moves have undone the social network’s work over the last few years to earn back developers’ trust. Developers have been cautious about their Twitter development plan given that the company hasn’t explicitly communicated its plans about platform support. Some other programs are in the defunct state even if the company has not announced official shutdowns. Since Musk took over Twitter last year, the company has shuttered several developer-related projects, including Twitter Toolbox for app discovery. Such is the unending stress of being controlled by a gatekeeper. Tapbots are lucky to be making Ivory, and Iconfactory are lucky they have other apps. We have proof now that suspending Tweetbot, Twitterrific, and 23 other clients was intentional. Villa also released a beta version of his Mastodon client Wolly on Apple’s test platform TestFlight. He said that currently the team is focused on making the onboarding experience better, then fixing the bugs and working toward an App Store release. Haddad told TechCrunch over an email that Tweetbot is concentrating on launching its Mastodon client Ivory - which is currently in a closed beta - at an accelerated pace. Some developers have already shown intent of concentrating on other projects. That would also mean that their annual income would go down and they would have to build new products while making no money.

Ī bunch of these developers were concerned about handling refunds for folks who have subscribed to the pro or premium versions of their apps if Twitter banned third-party clients. Looks like those popular apps were suspended for some reason. Twitter backend doesn't seem to be broken. Also created a demo client to test the API. Just tested a bunch of third-party Twitter apps for both iOS and Android: many seem to work.
